Circuit Documentation

Summary

This document provides a detailed description of a simple electronic circuit consisting of a 9V battery, a rocker switch, a resistor, and a red LED. The circuit is designed to light up the LED when the switch is turned on. The resistor is used to limit the current flowing through the LED to prevent damage.

Component List

  1. Resistor

    • Description: A passive electrical component that limits the flow of electric current.
    • Pins: pin1, pin2
    • Properties:
      • Resistance: 350 Ohms
  2. LED: Two Pin (red)

    • Description: A light-emitting diode that emits red light when current flows through it.
    • Pins: cathode, anode
  3. 9V Battery

    • Description: A power source providing 9 volts of direct current (DC).
    • Pins: -, +
  4. Rocker Switch

    • Description: A switch that can open or close an electrical circuit.
    • Pins: output, input
